About Our Site

Our website hopes to provide the resources you’ll want to read and reference about the Florida Keys. The Keys were originally inhabited by Calusa and Tequesta Native Americans. They were later found and charted by Ponce de León in 1513.

The major industries are fishing and tourism, including ecotourism, with many visitors scuba diving in the area's protected waters. We bring our local knowledge of shopping, dining, hotel, fishing and culture recommendations as well as articles that demonstrate the essence of each of the keys.
